My point is that for the last four year plus we hear how racist America is. And yet with all this systemic racism people still want to come here by the millions. And they do legal or illegal. They have painted a narrative that does not mirror reality. I also hate this excuse about illegal immigration. They say they are doing jobs that no one wants to do. Maybe college folks do not want to be plumbers or electricians or dry wall installation or hvac painters lawn mowers pipe setters the list is endless. My situation with my very own father in law brought this all to light when I worked in Washington DC with mostly illegal immigrants. The wages my father in law paid was way below the average for commercial plumbing. He had guys working for 7 dollars an hour.There is cause and effect for everything that happens in life. And I don’t like how the left justifies screwing illegals saying they are doing jobs no one wants to do. Americans do not want to do the job for the price they want to pay these days. The trades have been hit hard with the illegal work force. I have first hand knowledge of their plans they told me. They each were working to make 100,000. And between the brothers uncles and cousins they could have a large cattle ranch. They had zero plans of staying here. They were taking advantage of the exchange rate so that they could buy more at home. I asked them what would happen if I decided to do what they were doing. They warned me that Mexico was not a place for a gringo on his own. And that I could never feel safe there because I never would be. They would not accept me in Mexico. But there I was day after day being kind and friendly to them in my country. Trying to understand what they were doing. And I did get it. They were working to be free. With five or so years of hard work they would be set up to live life as they chose. Plus they also learned how to build things. So when they would go home or get deported they would work on their house. Or help build others homes. They were always working toward a goal. I have lost touch with all of them. One was murdered when he went home to El Salvador to work his farm. Murdered for very little money it was sad for me to hear that he died that way. He was a really great fella and even though he did not speak a lot of English we were still able to understand what the other was saying. It also helped that his brother spoke pretty good English. So we could communicate better when he was around. So from my own experience I can say that if there were that much hostility towards people that were other than white why would they come here? Why would they want to? America is not perfect because the people are not perfect. America to me is a reflection of how the people work together to struggle and strive for a better life. And that is something every human can agree on. That above all we want freedom. And as long as you let me have mine I’ll let you have yours. We work together because we all do better when we work together. There will always be some dip shits out there. No matter what. You cannot kill all the good for a little bad. It always ends up worse. Sometimes it’s best to acknowledge it and deal with it than to keep ignoring it until it becomes the problem that could have been solved. It’s fine if they want to work here. Just make it a level playing field. Because as far as I am concerned it’s morally wrong to pay someone less when they are working in this country doing the same job as a legal citizen. If they did that the illegals would slow down on coming here. Because their would be no incentive to hire them any more. They are only being hired so that they can be preyed upon by lousy business owners. That pay slave wages in a first world country. I see something terribly wrong with that. Especially since all men are created equal. Well are not the illegals still men? So why are they not equal? Why do they get they low pay. They say we need them. That’s the same argument the southern Democrats used for keeping slaves. That no one else wants to do the work so they have to have slaves. They only do it because it’s still better than Mexico. So what happens if we fix the problem? Lots of un employed illegals. That will either go home or if they can’t will then become a burden to the social welfare problem. Or starve. There are so many different things that can happen when you start fixing things. Sometimes it makes thinking difficult. But I try to think of all sides and all outcomes. But you will never be able to do that. So you just have to do the best you can. It’s all any of us can do.
